Is this what the super-rich really do with their time?


Just go to expensive lunches and dinner parties every day of the year? No wonder they're so despised.

Imagine the fact that someone despises these characters because they go to lunches and dinner parties. Huh?? If thats what they like to do, why is that vile and despised? It makes no sense.

I think its far more despicable to have no desire to get a job so as to actually and rightfully contribute to society. But rather to do everything you can to stay on the welfare roll and get a free ride.

Now that is where to properly direct these types of negative comments about the usage of one's time.

Larry struggled probably as much as anyone in the early days. He then struck gold with Seinfeld and he wrote his own ticket.
He don't need to work but he gives us his this treasure of a show and looking into the vane aspects of hollywood. If he wants to sit around all day having lunches, playing golf, going for an icecream and getting in a fight with everyone, so be it. He earned it.

Woody Allen, another lower-middle-class Jewish man from NYC, struck gold too, way back in the 1960s. But he has carried on making a film almost every year since, and he is now around 80. Artists do not work so they can retire and do nothing. They live to create.

Certainly it's not what Larry David does with his time. He was busy filming, producing and writing the show about him going to expensive lunches and dinner parties and also some other projects.

This show makes being rich seem boring, especially if you don't like golf.

Obviously the real Larry spends a lot of time thinking of ideas to put into the show, writing them down, organizing them into a season of episodes, including a season-spanning arc story, thinking about who to cast in the various roles, casting actors, and acting in the show.
